NORMAN WILKINSON (1882-1971) TO IRELAND / SEVEN LMS ROUTES. Circa 1935.
39x49 inches, 99x124 1/2 cm. McCorquodale & Co., [London.]
Condition B+: small repaired tears, restored losses, creases and abrasions in margins; slight darkening along top edge; minor foxing in image; restoration along creases in lower right corner.
The LMS only ran five passenger ferries between England and Ireland, and a number of posters, including one designed by Wilkinson, advertise those routes. The seven routes mentioned here include two that were for cargo only. Visible in the distance, is the Rockabill Lighthouse. This is one of several variations of this poster; another, with a white border, bears the text "To Ireland / The Choice of Five Routes." Not in Furness vol. 8.
